Chase Hardin

Coach Chase Hardin started his coaching career at Liberty Christian School in 2009. He grew a program of about 16 players to over 50 players, eventually leaving the program to head to his alma mater Kaufman High School to become the Girls' Head Tennis Coach and Math Teacher.

During his first 3 years at Kaufman High School, he helped lead the team to a 2nd Place finish in the 4A Texas Team Tennis State Championship. He was recruited to a bigger 6A program in Haslet, Texas at V.R. Eaton High School. During his 2 years there he helped the team go from 6th place to a competitive 4th place in Team Tennis and then up to a Boys 3rd place and a Girls 4th place finish during the Spring Tennis season. After my 2 years at V.R. Eaton, I realized my heart belonged in smaller schools so I returned to Kaufman High School where I remain today. Since returning, we made another run at the State Championship in Texas Team Tennis in 2023 where we fell short and came in 2nd in the State at the 4A level.

I have been actively involved in coaching tennis since 2009. Started coaching with Nike Tennis Camps at the University of North Texas in 2008 and have worked my way up to being the Associate/Operations Director since 2015.

Lama Tennis Camps hold a special place in my heart because they were held at my alma mater, the University of North Texas. Watching and helping this camp grow each year has been a goal of mine. Going around the state checking out some of the well-renowned camps such as Texas A&M, UT, Baylor, etc. I made it a goal of mine to compete with these well-known camps, and try our best to be BETTER!!! I change something about the camp each year based on feedback I receive from campers and staff. I do my best to maintain the vision of this camp not being MY camp, but being a camp where players can come and KNOW they are going to be better in some area of their game by the time they leave. I hope you will trust us with your game and give us a try! I guarantee you will leave our camp with more knowledge of your game and how you can become a little better at this wonderful yet frustrating sport.
